Like the ticking of a Swiss watch, every month the KDE team brings you a new release. November's edition of KDE is a bugfix and translation update to KDE 4.3. With the KDE 4 series picking up in popularity, we're happy to encourage even more people to give KDE 4 another spin -- or just upgrade your existing KDE to KDE 4.3.3. As the release only contains bugfixes and translation updates, it will be a safe and pleasant update for everyone. Users around the world will appreciate that KDE 4.3.3 is more completely translated. KDE 4.4 is already translated into more than 50 languages, with more to come.

KDE 4.3.3 has a number of improvements that will make your life just a little bit better. Some of KWin's effects have been smoothed and freed of visual glitches, JuK should now be more stable, KDE PIM has seen its share of improvements while in the back-rooms of KDE, the developers are working hard on porting all applications to the new Akonadi storage and cache. The changelog has more, if not exhaustive, lists of the improvements since KDE 4.3.2.

Meanwhile, the KDE team is plugging away at KDE 4.4 with its feature freeze drawing closer. KDE 4.4 will see its first incarnation (KDE 4.4.0) in February 2010, two weeks later than initially planned in order to make it possible to release on top of Qt 4.6. KDE 4.4 will be based on, and using the new goodness in Qt 4.6 -- think of new layouting mechanisms in QGraphicsView, improved performance, the new animation framework, and many more pearls. KDE 4.4 will deliver a staggering amount of improvements and new features on top of this: improved desktop search, better privilege escalation, remote controllable Plasma widgets, and of course more polish to the existing code. Beta 1 is only one month away so stay tuned.

i don't think this is the place to post that. kubuntu is not kde, it is just a distro that, in addition, didn't care too much about anything alse than gnome.
if you want kubuntu people to update their news, you should post in their forums.

Do you even know what you're saying?

Kubuntu is an official Canonical supported and funded project. It is in no way same as Ubuntu which uses Gnome as a DE. Just as openSUSE offers KDE as default, Ubuntu offers Gnome.

I personally don't find _any_ KDE feature missing in Kubuntu. There is no "basic", "ultimate" etc, as each and every *buntu flavor is in itself feature complete. Nevertheless, you can always install two or more desktop environments in one Ubuntu installation.

Anyone who has used Kubuntu can attest to where most of Canonicals attention goes. GNOME gets it's own theme, while KDE loads up with the default theme. (Depending on whom you ask, this might be a good thing.) There was a discussion on Distrowatch a couple of weeks ago about whether or not Kubuntu was the blue-headed stepchild of Ubuntu.

Now to be fair, if a user doesn't like the way that Ubuntu does things, than I doubt they'd like the way Kubuntu does things. Other than the DE, they are the same distro.

I am annoyed with the fact that I still cannot sync my Palm Treo to kdepim. Cellphones and PDA's are important devices, and the syncing of such devices to the Linux desktop should imho have a priority over eye candy and esoteric applications.

Syncing to the cloud (e.g. Google calendar) is all very well, but only for a subset of the Calendar fields, and there is no solution for the contact address database. Also, the problem of how to get your PDA synced, remains.

And I don't want to be dependent on a third party to administrate my appointments and addresses.
